Dear fellow Rotarian:

Complying with your request I have addressed the presidents
of the Rotary Clubs of Mexico asking them to send you the -
piece of rock that you desire for the building of the Rock
Lodge in your boy's camp.

I congratulate you for your idea and I hope it will bear -
fruit and creat a broad international mind in the boys to
whom the lodge is detined.

I expect you will soon be receiving the rock and remain

Sincerely and Rotarily yours,

THE ANCIENT GAME OF HIPBALL

These huge stones now in the Mexican National Musuem, served as goals in the ancient game. The players caught the rubber ball, weighing 10
or 12 pounds, on the hip or shoulder, never using their hands. The object of the game was to shoot the ball through the hole in the center of the
stone. In the superb courts used by the ancients these stones were set in the walls, and players were sometimes made rich for life by the prize of a
single game. Nowadays the west-coast Indians play the same game, but with a simple home-made equipment [paper clipping appears to have been cut here]
